I use typeoff in this way to guard masking code against absent-minded
modifications. 

Attached is a corrected version as suggested. 

Maybe Julia can come up with a clever rule for detecting unusual masking 
operations automatically :-) ?

Subject: nftl: fix offset alignments

Arithmetic conversion in the mask computation makes the upper word
of the second argument passed down to mtd->read_oob(), be always 0
(assuming 'offs' being a 64-bit signed long long type, and
'mtd->writesize' being a 32-bit unsigned int type).

This patch applies over the other one adding masking in nftl_write,
"nftl: write support is broken".
